Our Team

A message from General Manager Peter Hope

Over the last 20 years, our mission has been to be recognised as the market leader and supplier of choice for specialist, high quality work-holding equipment and automation products. We specialise in the sale of leading edge manufacturing technology to enhance the productivity of industry in Australia and New Zealand.

Thanks to our dedicated team, each of who are exceptional at knowledgeable, responsive service, we have built a respected enterprise based on outstanding relationships with customers throughout Australia and New Zealand as well as with our quality suppliers in Japan, Europe, the USA and Canada.

Manufacturing technology still going strong

Despite predictions of ‘an end to the manufacturing era’ for Australia, production changes and technical developments continue to drive our supply chain economy and help move manufacturing technology forward. Romheld Automation is committed to being on top of those changes to help Australian companies adapt to new production and supply chain opportunities.

The company is young, dynamic and wholly Australian owned and operated. We greatly appreciate the support of our many customers and suppliers, without whom we could not claim clear market leadership in many of our activities. We take pride in listening to your requirements, discussing the possibilities and offering suggestions on what tooling and processes might work for you.

We look forward to continuing our service and support to all ANZ manufacturing technology industries.

Peter Hope, General Manager / Director
